No but Kaiser is in fact closer to the pronunciation at his lifetime. Latin went through some natural sound shifts that affected all words equally and borrowing into English added some more so that's how we arrive at the modern English pronunciation. The Russian word tsar also goes back to Caesar. tHeY didn't do anything.
